Getting the right certified grille for your building
Cost and weight
Higher ratings mean heavier, more expensive grilles that need stronger fixing points.
Which rating you need
Start from your insurer's or specifier's requirement rather than choosing the highest number.
What the rules say in Scotland
External grilles and planning
External grilles and shutters on commercial buildings normally need planning permission from the council under the Scottish planning system. Councils' shopfront guidance commonly prefers internal, open-mesh security, particularly in conservation areas and town centres.
Grilles across exits in business premises
In Scotland, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 make the duty holder keep escape routes and exits available and easy to open while people are present. A grille across an exit should be open whenever the premises are occupied.
